It's an all-male household

Apart from the cats, that is.

Chris is away this week, helping some friends bring their new narrowboat back from Kintbury back up to Lower Heyford. I dropped them and their cat off yesterday late morning, had lunch and returned mid afternoon.

Last week was manic, particularly for her, and so we hoped that this would be both an opportunity to escape and rest and at the same time a chance to do some interesting and different stuff with friends. From this morning's conversation I think so far it's been hard work. There are lots of locks, all of which have had double gates, and which have required a major effort to push open. Her mind may be having a rest, but at least she's getting a good work out to make up for all the sitting around while the world slides past.

There may be some photos and possibly a painting to follow.
